PC upgrade for FIFA 15

[Burton]

Got an old desktop running on i3 530 3gig RAM and GTX 430.
Now I can't even run FIFA 15 on it.

Budget is low, so what would you recommend to upgrade?

Issue 2: My Windows 8.1 is 32 bit. Do I have to buy a new one to install 64?

How low is yo budget?

[Burton]

Umm, $300.

Your machine is not that bad as you think. Get at something like a
second hand GTX 460 / 750Ti / 560 / 6950
Maybe spend around 100$ for the graphics, Add a ram module
if possible to have 4gb and it should last you a little while again.
Your hardware upgrade should cost you with some luck around 150$

And yes, you need a new install to have 64bit, especially if you plan
to use more than 3gb ram because you need 64bit to support 4gb.

So far, GL

Think I will go with your idea. Thanks for the input.
Far as 32 bit windows 8.1 is concerned, how do I upgrade it?

[jebise]

You have to install a 64bit version.

[Burton]

You have to install a 64bit version.

I mean can I install the 64bit version with the existing key?

[jebise]

No, the 64bit versions have their own keyset as far as i know.
